Sky Mobile, coming to Ireland

Once 48 sorts out it's legacy issues and facilitates the WiFi calling etc, then there's a cheap access to all 3 networks. Unless you have niche requirements or paying off a fancy phone, then there's no reason to look past gomo, clear or 48

I didn't myself but yes, they come unlocked. Afaik Three are the only provider who still network lock iPhones.

Thanks guys.

To be honest the price they charge for the phones isn’t too far off the retail price. Plus if you don’t like sky mobile service you can take out a €4 month sim plan of you wish instead. And spread it over 24 or 36 months.

Thinking of maybe updating to latest iPhone Pro Max either this September or next year.

Or perhaps the foldable might win me over!

Would wait for the €12.99 deal though.

My experience with Sky Ireland !

I went ahead and tried to get a new phone and sim with them, the offer was good. It was the Ihpone 17. Deal was 29.99 a month for 36 months for the phone, 15 a month for the sim deal.

Signed up, was then told that I have to pay 87 as my credit check wasnt fully clear. I usually have around 20K in the bank and have not ever once in my life missed a payment on anything, 2 loans have been cleared in the past a year or more early than planned. My income is a good bit above the national average ( not bragging, so dont shoot me)

That was OK, said alright no problem. Got the details to set up the phone account. Sky App doesn't recognise an Irish Eircode. 2 hours onto a call center with staff who don't speak English well. Asked after a while to just cancel the whole thing and get my money back. Transferred to another agent to ask why I was leaving, 40 mins of my life gone.

Contract cancelled, told it will be 15 working days to get the money back. This was all within 4 hours of signing up.

Never, ever, ever, again.

I've found with Sky Mobile on my iPhone it'll get stuck to EDGE or G sometimes and doesn't switch to 4G/5G unless I put it in airplane mode or restart.
